The Cleveland County District Attorney's Office has determined that the use of force in an officer-involved shooting last month in Norman was justified.

First Assistant District Attorney Susan Caswell said the use of force was justified and appropriate under the law, after reviewing investigative reports, videos, witness statements and other documents, Norman police officials said in a news release.

On Feb. 20, police received a report that someone was using a crowbar to break into a home in the 900 block of Garver Street. An officer found a man matching the suspect's description near Flood Avenue and Main Street and began a pursuit on foot, officials said.

Police said the man reached into his waistband, pulled out a weapon and pointed it at the officer. The officer fired multiple shots at the man while in the parking lot of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

The man has been identified as 37-year-old Marc David Watson, who was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He has been charged with first-degree burglary, second-degree burglary, possession of burglary tools, possession of a firearm after a former felony conviction and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

The officer, Master Police Officer Joshua Hard, was placed on administrative leave and has since been allowed to return to service. Hard has been with the Norman Police Department since September 2010.
